IMPROVEMENT IN CHUR'NS. I

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 128,364, dated June 25,1872.

SPEIFICATION. To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS OoNELEY, of Grafton, in the county of McHenryand State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement inChurn; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exactdescription of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawingand to the letters of reference marked thereon.

This invention relates to that class of devices for operating churnswhich give a vertical movement to the dasher by means of the revolutionof a crank and consists mainly in the specific construction, by means ofwhich chine, consisting of suitable beams supported upon proper legs, asshown in the drawing. B represents the main driving-wheel, havingl theshaft b, turning in suitable bearings in the frame, which shaft isprovided with a crank or other proper means for receiving motion.

The periphery of the wheel B is provided with suitable teeth, whichengage with the teeth of the smaller wheel 0, the shaft of which latteris provided at one end with the fly-wheel D, to which is attached oneend of the connecting-rod E, as shown. This connecting-rod is attachedat its opposite end to a slotted arm, f, 0f the rocking shaft F, whichlatter is supported by bearings in the sliding boxes Gr, held in theslotted beams g g, as shown. f also represents a slotted arm attached tothe rocking shaft at right angles to the arm f. Hrepresents thechurn-dasher, which is connected by means of a pin to the arm f. Thechurn itself rests upon a suitable platform below the arm, as shown.

The connecting parts of this churn are made readily adjustable in orderthat it may be adapted to suit any size of churn.

The conplace from one orifice to another, as indicated,

in Fig. 3. The opposite end of the connect- .ing-rod may be attached tothe arm f of the rocking shaft, to make it longer or shorter, at anydesired point, it being provided for that purpose with a series oforifices, as shown.

The position of the rod E in the slot of the arm f may be varied at willby means of the series of orifices and the securing-pin, by which meansthe length of the movement of the rocking shaft is determined. The arm fis also provided with a series of openings, so that the dasher may beadjusted to have a longer or shorter stroke in the churn, or operate ina line nearer or more remote from the frame-work. The vertical positionof the dasher may also be adjusted by means of the series of holes-inits rod. The position of the rocking shaft vertically may also beadjusted by moving the sliding boxes in the slotted supporting-beams gBy means of the construction described the mechanism is adapted to' beadjusted to any size of churn. The power is advantageously applied, andconsequently excellent results are obtained from its operation.

I do not claim the adjustability of the parts separately; but

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a churn, the combination of the rock-- ing shaft with the slidingboxes G in the slotted beams, as described.

2. The combination of the adjustable wristpin in the fly-wheel I), theadjustable connecting-rod F, the bent lever with adjustable arms ff, thesliding boxes 9 g, and the adjustable dasher-rod, as described.

This specification signed and witnessed this 13th day of April, 1872.
